Big Money gets the headline so we'll post this under Cuddyer. 2012 PCL Broken Chains team. I went in with a lot of cheap, small value freezes and a couple of higher paid guys (they have a "2") for their contract year below. Strategy: Spend money early on hitting while tossing out closers for others to bid on. Try and get guys at or below value where possible. What worked: Spent my money and got the power hitters I needed. Cuddyer (2), Werth(4), Bogo(2), Soto(2), Hudson (4) all went under my bid values. What didn't: Overvalued Bogosevic going in. Made a math mistake part way through and didn't have the money to get Hen-Rod or Bedard or the guy who I had pegged as my indulgence player: Lombardozzi.

I've had auctions where I've bought every player under my bid limit. It depends on the auction, the level of play, and the circumstances. | |

I talk about artistry a lot...here is the artistry part. At some point, you need to buy stats. The trick to the room is figuring out when you need to push a player to par (or even one over) in order to secure stats. Otherwise, you are, as Alex pointed out, optimum bidding. The upside to optimum bidding - you get a lot of bargains. The downside is you get a lot of $6 players at $2. 14 $6 players at $2 on offense does not win flags. | |

To complement that, you can't expect to buy all players for less than their limit, so the bid price tells you who to buy even for par, because they're reliable, or have upside, or bought advertising on the site. Cuddyer goes from a bad HR park to a good hitting park, and he qualifies in the NL at 3B and CI, which are shallow positions this year. Our bid prices will not buy him. After that, it's your choice, and that's why we're here hammering on it. |

Of course you need to turn a profit to win. The bids don't turn a profit. They are par. When you go into your draft, unless you don't even have bids (which is fine; letters work, color codes work), the bids, together with keeper prices, have to add up to the amount of money there is to spend. If your bids are "what I hope I'll get him for," you are subscribing to John Benson's infamous Optimum Bids, which are infamous because they leave you with money to spend and nothing to spend it on. Bids are limits and you get your profits by buying players for less than their limit. |

Coors be damned. I see very little profit potential in these bids. Do we always need to turn a profit to win? Should we at least not try and shoot for upside whenever possible? It's somewhat comforting to know what you're going to get, but Michael Morse at least has a $30 season in him. |

Dang ... 3 games short of being a second baseman. | |

Multi-position qualifiers at 1st: Berkman, C Lee, Duda, Belt, Huff, Morse, Wigginton, Cuddyer, and G Jones. |

1B is tough. Lost 2 of your top 3 to AL, and the 4th is going to miss a month plus. Berkman, Davis, Morse, Cuddyer, Goldschmidt, Freeman, Sanchez. No reason to chase one more than the others. |

So how bad is the NL hitting pool? I am working on my NL values, and Cuddyer is my #2 first baseman on my sheet...can that be right???? What the what??? |
